Abram Is Conference Co-Chairman
Shiffman's Gift
Benefits Israel
Education Fiuid
Announcement of the gift of
5600,000 from Abraham Shiffman,
Detroit realtor and philanthropist,
to the Israel Education Fund of
the United Jewish Appeal, to build
a high school in Tirat Hacamel, a
new immigrant town on the out-
skirts of Haifa, and also to pro-
vide Hebrew University scholar-
ships for future high school teach-
ers, was made by Max M. Fisher,
general chairman of the United
Jewish -Appeal, on behalf of Shiff-
man and the Shiffman Foundation.
"Fisher made the announcement
at a groundbreaking ceremony in
Jerusalem for still another Israel
Education Fund project: a 1,000
pupil high school to be built in the
Katamon area which will likewise
serve children from the under-de-
veloped countries. This one, to be
called the Denmark school, is in
honor of the people of Denmark
for their courageous rescue of al-
most the entire Jewish population
of Denmark in 1943 during the
Nazi occupation.
Shiffman, -whose philanthropic
gifts total more than $3,000,000 in
contributions to educational and
medical institutions in the United
States, stated that "there is a
great need to close the culural gap
between Israel's newest immigrants
and those who are of Euorpean
origin."
The new school will be named
the Moses and Sarah Shiffman
High School in honor of Shiffman's
parents who were immigrants to
the United States.
Shiffman, a native Detroiter, is
nationally recognized for his phil-
anthropic endowments to medical
and educational institutions. Reci-
pients of his generosity include
Brandeis University, Wayne State
College in Detroit, the Detroit
Medical Center, Sinai Hospital in
Detroit and the University of Mich-
igan.
Mr. and Mrs. Shiffman reside at
850 Whitmore Road in Detroit.
They have two married daughters,
Mrs. Norman Levey of West Seven
Mile Road, Detroit, and Mrs. Rob-
ert Kohn, wife of Dr. Robert Kohn
of Shaker Heights, Cleveland. Two
stepchildren are Lester Season-
good and Mrs. John Levy, both in
St. Louis.
Attorney General Nicholas -Katzenbach, American Jewish Com-
mittee President Morris B. Abram and Philadelphia attorney William
T. Coleman Jr. (from left) listen to President Johnson, who has just
appointed Abram and Coleman co-chairmen of the White House Con-
ference on Civil Rights, to be held in Washington Nov. 17-18. The

more fully in our society," the President said.
